Senior Member Nick153452 Posted October 12, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted October 12, 2010 I have seen quite a few after photos and it seems that the only hair style that you can have is the hair slicked back. I have seen any people show what their hair in the frontal region looks combed down. Is this even possible to do? Or is the hair destined to grow up due to the nature of the implantation? Does this even make sense what I'm saying?

Senior Member Cam Simmons MD ABHRS Posted October 12, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted October 12, 2010 Hello Nick When you say down do you mean forward? The hair naturally grows mostly in a forward direction and is angled more down toward the scalp than upward. Depending on the area of the scalp the hair is usually angled between 30 and 40 degrees up from the scalp. If someone's transplanted hair is better in front than their natural hair behind it, some men choose to brush the transplanted hair back to cover the thinning area. Patients can brush their hair forward, backward, or to the side. They can centre part their hair but it tends to make the transplanted hair look thinner. Spiking hair up also tends to make transplanted hair look thinner. Here are a couple of patients who brush their transplanted hair forward: http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/eve/137441-dr-cam-simmons-norwood-5a-3288-fug-front.html http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/eve/135304-dr-cam-simmons-norwood-3-2001-fug-short-hair.html Cam Simmons MD ABHRS Seager Medical Group, Toronto, Ontario, Canada Dr. Cam Simmons is a member of the Coalition of Independent Hair Restoration Physicians Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Nick153452 Posted October 13, 2010 Author Senior Member Share Posted October 13, 2010 Hello Nick When you say down do you mean forward? First of all, thank you for answering the question. That is exactly what I was wondering! I have a meeting with Dr Shapiro this Thursday for which I am ecstatic! I was a kid who started to lose significant hair in my earthy youth, (17). I am now 21 and can hardly handle the comments I get on a daily basis. Secondly, very nice work on your patients. The results are outstanding.

Senior Member azn_guy Posted October 14, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted October 14, 2010 Take a look at my profile. I comb my hair forward and I even gel it. That being said, I have quite a bit of existing hair to support the 3000 grafts that were transplanted. I also prefer not to slick back my hair because it simply looks terrible as a hairstyle HT with Dr. Cooley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
